Putting the Pieces Together

Various committees have been coordinated to put all of the pieces together with regards to the new ACC/UNM Housing project on the UNM Main Campus. Most recently, a committee has been organized, charged with many different items that will most likely be included in the final contract. Such topics to be discussed: management of the building, RA/RHA composition, training methods, etc. Following is a note from Jenna Crabb, Director of UNM Career Services. Jenna points out what the committee has been charged to do, some specific items the committee will focus on along with the anticipated outcome of the group.

Hello!   I have been asked to be the facilitator for the Committee on New Residence Hall Management on Main Campus.  This committee will meet to discuss the most appropriate management structure that will benefit UNM students.  We hope that through this committee we will have open and honest discussions about how the new residence halls on main campus should be managed, including the reporting and communication structure, and how the relationship between ACC and UNM will work; we will explore how other privatized operations work at other institutions (using both ACC and others); create a workable timeline for our group.  At the conclusion of this committee, we hope to make a formal proposal and recommendation to the Joint Management Committee.    The committee will consist of students representing various organizations within the residence hall system and ASUNM, Community Directors within the residence halls, and UNM staff, including myself. 

I have a vested interest in making sure the students, Residence Life Staff and community have a voice in our new residence halls.  I started my professional career as an Area Coordinator in Hokona, and supervised at one time or another most of the halls on our campus.  Working at UNM with student is my passion.  I believe in our community at UNM. 

Through this blog – I will keep you updated on our discussions and eventually share our proposal with you – our community. 

Please visit the blog regularly for updates and information!

Thank you,
